'60-Day Toll Exemption' MOU Released: "If Agreement Is Violated, We Will Bomb"

[Anchor]

The U.S. government has officially released the memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding the end of hostilities with Iran. As previously reported, the document includes a provision for raising $300 billion to rebuild Iran. Since the U.S. has stated it will not contribute its own funds, it appears there is an intention to have other countries, including South Korean firms, shoulder a portion of the burden. The document also specifies that tolls for the Strait of Hormuz will be waived for only 60 days.

The U.S. government has released the 14 articles of the MOU on the end of hostilities, a draft of which had previously been disclosed through the media.

The agreement includes the cessation of military operations and the commencement of nuclear negotiations over a 60-day period. However, the provision stating that the Strait of Hormuz toll exemption will last for only 60 days is expected to spark controversy.

The MOU also mentions a $300 billion Iran reconstruction fund. President Trump, currently visiting France, drew a line, stating that U.S. money would not be involved.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: We are not doing anything. We are not spending money. If Iran behaves properly and people want to invest, they can invest.]

Trump stated that he had delivered a copy of the MOU to Israel and repeatedly pressured Iran, warning that if they do not behave properly, he will bomb them again.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: It is not a final agreement, just a memorandum of understanding (MOU). If I don't like it, I will attack again and drop bombs on their heads.]

President Trump referred to this MOU as the "Trump Deal" and praised himself for building a wall that prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: If the 'Obama Deal' opened the path to nuclear weapons, the so-called 'Trump Deal' has built a wall that nuclear weapons can never pass through.]

A U.S. government official stated that Iran has agreed to dilute and dispose of its enriched uranium within its own borders.

President Trump also expressed his gratitude to President Xi Jinping and President Putin, noting that the situation improved because China and Russia maintained neutrality during the war with Iran.
